Program Sustainability

In order to sustain our high school boys lacrosse program we request a contribution of $400 per player. Contributions are requested by January 31 prior to tryouts. Once teams are selected the checks will be deposited. For those who have paid but did not make the team, your check will be returned.

Player contributions are not required in order to be on the team, but they are the primary funding source for our program. Your contributions go towards the following player expenses: uniforms, team equipment, supplies, coaches salaries and travel expenses, referees for home games, game administration for home games, bookkeeping, equipment replacement and repair, player scholarships, team photos and end-of-year banquet.

Additional funds come from our volunteer snack shack, clothing sales and script funds. Contributions can be turned in at our parent/athlete meetings or sent by mail. Make checks payable to: DHS Boys Lacrosse and mailed to:

​Lacrosse is a fast and exciting sport that is wonderful for all spectators. It can be confusing for newcomers to the game, so parents may want to acquaint themselves with the game by reading Lacrosse 101, a brief but engaging introduction to Men's lacrosse.

During the course of the season, our tireless volunteers upload wonderful photos to both JV and Varsity shutterfly Accounts. Access information will be provided when the sites are available. This year we plan to make some videos available as well. The players will also be able to access team and personal statistics throughout the game.
